The North Korean government has unleashed more inflammatory rhetoric against the United States, this time for rampant human rights abuses.
A recent North Korean report calls the U.S. a "living hell" where "elementary rights to existence are ruthlessly violated."
Pyongyang also blames Christian missionaries based in Northeast China for bringing human trafficking and terrorism to North Korea.
Eric Foley, of Seoul USA, says he expects that accusation may cause China to crack down on missionary activity along the North Korean border.
"That could take the form of increased deportation-particularly of South Korean missionaries and also giving the North Korean state security agents a freer hand in investigating churches in the area and missionaries as well," Foley said.
Foley also claims North Korea made the allegations because Christian missionaries are effectively spreading the Gospel throughout the Korean Peninsula.
